About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250SB
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED100X250SB pushes with identical force on every stroke because both sides of the piston see the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore delivers 3769.9 N, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, so heavy clamping and pressing duties get the same output whichever end is pressurized. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag for a second position signal.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long 250 mm strokes inside presses, gantries or guarded cells. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and this -S model carries the optional magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches read position directly. As a planning figure, expect roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg) of usable vertical work at 0.5 MPa when you keep a sensible margin below the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250SB Is Used
Press and forming fixtures
The 3769.9 N equal force both ways at 0.5 MPa suits a stamping or riveting fixture where the through-rod keeps the tooling square under side load.
Pallet lift-and-lower stations
With about 230 kg of practical vertical capacity at 0.5 MPa, the double rod carries a lifting plate symmetrically; add a pilot check valve if the load must stay up when air drops.
Gantry position feedback
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report both end positions on the 250 mm stroke, while the rear rod can carry a flag for a mid-travel signal.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250SB the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per stroke at 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore sits well above the 63 mm size (1458.1 N) and below the 125 mm top of the range (5890.5 N), so pick it when a 63 mm cylinder is under-sized but a 125 mm frame is over-built. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The male rod thread (B code) suits clevis and knuckle fittings, FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch feedback. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is equal in each direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face.
